Hello, I'm running VMware-Server 1.0.7 on Windows XP Professional (32-bit) and have an Ubuntu Linux guest. The guest is set up to physically access three hard drives, the root system is installed on an 8gb virtual disk on the windows partition. The problem is that when I try to upload something to one of the physical disks on the ubuntu guest, it seems very slow, around 2-4 mb/s. But when uploading to the root system (residing in that 8gb virtual disk on the windows partition) it is fast, where it should be, around 12 mb/s. Anyone experience this before? The drives are mounted using the same options as the root device, and the same filesystem (ext3).
Hope someone has an idea, this is very frustrating, I also hope I gave enough information.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
